Kurty Supercharged December 31, 2010 Share December 31, 2010 think for less than SG $100, you can get it done in MY including installation. mine cost around rm150, plus sg installation $20. not easy to DIY, my friend and i tried.. you have to position the stiffener, making sure it sat nicely, secure with cable ties. dirty and messy job. rather make do away with that kopi bean, and let the expertise do their job. in general, it does nothing significantly. the only thing it helps IMO is to curshion the spring especially if yours is a 4-5 old car. the spring probably weaken. nothing woo haa about Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good-Carbuyer 1st Gear December 31, 2010 Share December 31, 2010 I am also DIY type, so I like to share this with you. Car manufacturers design for the car body roll as early alert to the driver when certain speed is reached while cornering/having worn shock absorbers. Spring stiffeners/ struts/anti-roll bars, and the likes dull the designed early safety alert. That means you are modifying to make your car more dangerous/less safe. I hope you understand what you are going to do, or what you want. I believe thats about the help I can give you, now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stanchiam 1st Gear February 4, 2011 Author Share February 4, 2011 (edited) Back wheel DIY completed Very easy, took about 5-10mins for each wheel. I bought the latest 5th generation, cost about 80rmb or about sgd $17 for both wheels. 4th generation is much cheaper.

I bought the latest 5th generation, cost about 80rmb or about sgd $17 for both wheels. 4th generation is much cheaper. Now feel back as if the spring become higher grade, before installing it, back will "thumb" down when going through hump a little faster. Now, it feel as if just some bounce, no more shock for the back passenger. I should have also bought the front and install it, maybe next round of GB will get it to complete the 4 wheels. Very satisfy with the product. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
